NOISY Hounslow borough residents have been successfully prosecuted by the council.

The residents have been reprimanded at Feltham Magistrates' Court for playing music too loud.

Amanda Darlow, of Bridle Path Way in Feltham, was prosecuted for one offence for not complying with an abatement notice, a notice served by the local authority that may require noise be stopped altogether or limited to certain times of day.

She appeared at Feltham Magistrates Court on March 1 and was found guilty of causing noise nuisance. She was fined £125, with costs of £125 awarded to the council along with a victims surcharge of £15. Officers had seized noise making equipment from the property, but a forfeiture order was not granted by the court on this occasion.

A forfeiture order allows the council to keep the equipment. It is given to a local beneficial cause.

Daniel Okot, of Green Dragon Lane in Brentford, was prosecuted for one offence of not complying with the requirements of an abatement notice. He appeared at Brentford Magistrates Court on February 18 and was found guilty of causing noise nuisance. He was fined £350, with costs of £200 awarded to the council and a victims surcharge of £15. A forfeiture order was granted by the court relating to all of the equipment seized.

Tayna Bohn, of Beauclerk Close in Feltham, was also prosecuted for one offence for not complying with an abatement notice. She appeared at Feltham Magistrates Court on March 1. She pleaded guilty to causing noise nuisance, was fined £100, with costs of £100 awarded to the council along with the £15 victim surcharge. As she previously had a conditional discharge imposed by the court on her for three previous offences she was fined an additional £50 in respect of each offence. A forfeiture order was granted by the court on equipment capable of causing noise nuisance.

The council says it is hoped that in each of the cases that the landlord will institute repossession proceedings to evict each of the tenants concerned

Cllr Ed Mayne, Hounslow’s lead member for crime and community safety, said: "Our nuisance noise team work hard around the clock to root out persistent noise offenders, prosecute them and help free residents from noise pollution."
